I haven’t been to this bar since it’s reno quite a few years back ( I used to come here when it was Brix).. Seems like not much has changed inside other than adding a couple couches and tables. I think the new light fixtures, bar set up, and roll up door up front are pretty neat. I always have been a fan of the outdoor patio in the back area. It’s a chill ambiance. A few TV’s with games on, if you are into that sort of thing. I wasn’t too thrilled by their signature cocktail menu. Mezcal Paloma sounded tasty. I ordered a Mexican Mule and it was ok. Decent service. A fine place to meet up with friends for the start of your night.

I've only recently been but the vibes were great. People weren't snobs and were pretty polite to me and my friends. There was someone constantly cleaning tables which was nice to see. The outdoor patio was also really nice incase someone needed air but didn't want to step outside. The bathrooms were also very clean.

A good place to visit if you wanna dance to house music. The dancefloor quite spacious, and I suspect the only reason it's not more popular is the distance from the rest of the bars downtown.

Good DJs in the evenings. Drink quality is a little inconsistent, especially on weekends but it's a little understandable since it's pretty crowded. Overall nice venue.

My husband and I loved the music and and the drinks. Lovely patio to chill at. Must visitOne of our new favorite bars now

The best place I've been in years.I've been in the hospitality industry for decades.I went the previous Tuesday evening and was blown away by the professional staff the ambience which is a larger version of my bedroom living room etc same color scheme same art scheme. The fellow patrons were so cool.The music was spot on.I'm a light person as well, and the lighting was just perfect especially on the dance floor.I have nothing but excellent reviews for every aspect of this little gem.

I like to drink period. I enjoy the a good beverage made of rum. So I went to this place called the The Continental Bar Lounge & Patio no! They gave me what I wanted. They have a mug club which you can get and also just enjoy the whole The Continental Bar Lounge & Patio culture. They play Gillian's island on the TV. Got to love that and Tara the bartender is great. I will be back again a and again

This is the BEST place in SJ!! No other one compares. They have amazing music, great drinks and the best space. If you’re there to dance, there’s a dance floor with a dj playing the best house music. If you’re in the mood to hang out with friends and chill there is a cool and unique patio with a massive mural (try to guess who’s on the mural!!! hint-it’s not Selena :)) all of their staff is so so friendly and ALWAYS make your day/night better with their positive attitude. Especially Jose (who is now a great dj too!) and Travis - the best bartender. I’ve lived in San Jose for 5 years and only discovered this place last year, can’t believe more people don’t know about it. If you’re in the area I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. It usually gets busy after 10-11pm.

Fun spot, good DJ, great disco ball on the dance floor, great patio section, clean bathroom

Super chill bar, cool staff expect one bartender, at the long bar…Smile Bro.Music was good, not to packed. Definitely recommend it if you looking for a more chill atmosphere.
